The COVID-19 pandemic, technological disruption, globalisation reset and changing employee preferences have reshaped the way we work and learn. Businesses need to adopt new working models and become more flexible, people-centric and digitally-enabled to build post-pandemic resilience. At the same time, the education system must adapt to a fast-changing world, become more responsive to labour market needs and prepare current and future generations for the jobs of tomorrow.

Key Findings

Hybrid working as the new norm

Hybrid working will be part of the post-pandemic future, as it offers a range of benefits, including greater flexibility, increased productivity and job satisfaction. Adoption of digital technologies will be essential in the transition to a hybrid working model.

Workplace flexibility improves work-life balance

Workplace flexibility is a top priority for prospective employees as they seek a strong work-life balance. Flexible work arrangements offer greater autonomy and flexibility in balancing personal and professional lives and help increase employee loyalty, productivity and engagement.

Increasing focus on employee health and wellbeing

As working from home has blurred the boundaries between work and personal life, companies increasingly need to prioritise employee wellbeing and mental health. Employees now expect a holistic package of wellbeing benefits, including financial and mental health benefits.

Blended learning is the future of education

In the fast-changing world, people will need to embrace lifelong learning in order to grow and succeed personally and professionally. Due to the accelerating pace of technology adoption, many people will have to reskill and upskill in the coming years to prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.

Rising importance of lifelong learning

Digital transformation has accelerated in the education industry during the pandemic. Blended learning that combines in-person instruction with online learning will continue to rise in popularity, offering more personalised, interactive and inclusive learning experiences.
